EverApp 0.2 Beta – stop background apps being shutdown

EverApp

EverApp allows WM6.x users to make individual applications immune from Windows Mobile memory management. Apps managed by EverApp will remain open and accessible regardless of memory conditions. EverApp was created to solve a problem plaguing many users under WM6.5 (though it is potentially beneficial for any WM6.x user). The memory management routines under WM6.5 seem particularly aggressive, and many users experience situations where they can only keep one or two applications open simultaneously before WM begins shutting down background apps.

Main->Add
Allows you to add executables to EverApp’s list of protected applications. Note that the application does NOT have to currently be running to be Added.

Main->Remove
Remove the currently selected application from the list of protected apps.

Main->Run/Stop Service
Toggles the EverApp monitoring service. This service needs to be running for applications to be monitored and protected.

Main->About & Exit
Fairly self-explanatory. (Note that exiting the UI will leave the EverApp service running once it has been started, so you can go ahead and close the UI without worrying about interrupting monitoring and protection).

Activate
This will unhide the selected application (assuming it is currently being protected by EverApp). You can also double-click the app in the list or press/hold and select Activate from the popup menu.

Protected App List context menu (press and hold an app)

Add
Same as Main->Add

Remove
Same as Main->Remove

Manage Duplicates
When enabled, EverApp will detect if a second instance of a protected app is launched, kill it, and bring the original protected app into the foreground.

EACmdLine.exe

This allows the creation of shortcuts that can be used to activate protected apps. This is useful if you want to bind activation of a protected app to a hardware key. The format for the shortcut should be:

\full\path\to\EACmdLine.exe show “\full\path\to\target”
